With the higher prices of fuel Greenwich Gas Prices – Find Greenwich, Connecticut Gas Stations and Cheap Gas in CT at Automobile Magazine , people just stay home and read or watch media. I suppose they also do chores around the house. I noticed in the Fox News interview with Mitt Romney and his wife in their summer house in New Hampshire, they do not employ domestic help, but let their children and grandchildren do the chores. Of course, I think he also has a house in Massachusetts somewhere and La Jolla, California, which might be more primary residences, so possibly he has domestic help in his larger homes. I have not done house cleaning since early June 2012, but the apartment is in fairly good shape by my standards. I have friends returning back to Manhattan tomorrow, so they will be in closer proximity to Greenwich, Connecticut, where they have a lot of friends. CIO
